Borrowing Points Question

[KSL]

Hi all

I feel like I should know the answer to this, but I am confused. Can someone help me out!? Here's my scenario:

We have a contract for 180 BLT points with a September UY
We borrowed 46 points from 2013 for a trip this coming August. Thus, we have 134 points coming to us in September 2013
We are planning to book a trip for July 2014
To take advantage of the 11-month booking window, we would want to book in August 2013.
I guess I will be borrowing my remaining 134 September 2013 points, which I would otherwise be getting in under a month, in order to make that reservation for July 2014. Is that right? So then do I need to wait until September 2013 to borrow from September 2014 points to make up the rest of the points I need for my July 2014 trip? I'm thinking this may be what we need to do, but somehow it doesn't seem right.

Can anyone help explain to me!? Thanks in advance!

Nope, that's not right. A July 2014 trip takes place in your 2013 UY, which runs from September 1, 2013 to August 31, 2014. So you will be using current 2013 points. Since your reservation takes place in your '13 UY, you will be allowed to borrow from '14 as needed to complete your reservation. This can all be done when booking at the opening of the 11 month window.

Don't forget, when you call to book the reservation has nothing to do with what points are used. What matters is when the reservation is taking place, and what points you have available to you at that time. Hope this helps.

AAAHHHHHH! RIIIIIGHT!!!!

I need to remember that it's a matter of when the trip is taking place, not when I make the reservation. THANK YOU!!

With a September use year, you should currently have 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 points loaded online. No need to wait for them to be available.
